Master of Arts [M.A] [Textiles] From Royal College of Art

Textiles at the RCA is a multi-faceted discipline, and we work at the creative interface between materials, making, and meaning. Our focus is on new knowledge that impacts across many sectors, exploring new territories for tomorrow's Textiles specialist.

New materialities and fabrication methods offer fresh possibilities for the world and require us to constantly reconsider our practice, generating a culture of creative possibility throughout the activities of the Programme.

Textiles offer uniquely fluid, flexible, and infinitely adaptable ways of questioning, examining, and solving some of the increasingly complex societal challenges of the twenty-first century.

The Programme offers:

• An exploration of the creative, technological, cultural, commercial, and sustainable contexts of textiles.
• The development of innovative ideas that challenge the understanding of the practice and discipline of textiles
• The advancement of specialist textile skills through experimentation and research into both traditional and emerging materials and processes
• Five specialist study areas: Knit, Weave, Print, Mixed Media, and Smart Textiles.
